1. Method of identifying a flight profile of an aircraft, the aircraft including a centralized maintenance system and equipment including a component designed to measure the environmental conditions, wherein the method comprises:

  • a first step of measuring and collecting data measured by at least one sensor of the component;

    a second step of comparing, using a computation resource of the component, values measured by at least one sensor with predefined threshold values so as to store in a storage device the values that exceed the threshold values;

    a third step of comparing at least one set of values stored in step 2 with at least one predefined flight profile, a flight profile representing a trend of values measured by a sensor according to at least one item of information defining a flight context, each predefined flight profile including an identifier;

    a fourth step of identifying the flight profile that is closest to the set of values stored for a sensor, the flight profile being called “

    reference flight profile”

    ;

    a fifth step of transmitting, by a transmission/reception device, at least one identifier of a reference flight profile, identified in the preceding step, to the centralized maintenance system.
